Hey everyone!
I just got the letter from RTC with Ashley's address and grad date (May 06,2011) Does anyone else have a future sailor on the same ship and division?

I got a letter from my SR today! :) She sounded good. I also got a letter from a SR that I wrote to in her div. that doesn't get much mail. In that letter, from the other SR, she said she feels like BC is more like summer camp.. she thought it would be more intense, demanding, challenging.. I thought that was interesting. I get the sense, from both my SR and her, that the girls don't really get along. My SR has a core 3 that she hangs with, but says the other girls don't take it seriously.
She did say they got 0 safety violations on the Marlinspike.. She said.. "Marlinspike went ok, we came out w/ 0 safety violations and our teamwork is getting better." LOL Here Knight's letter was soooooo stoked on the 0 violations and my Sr is like.. "it went ok"! LOL
Drill practice for grad. went ok, tho some can't "get it together", so they had to do push-ups. Another girl got ASMO'd and my SR had to switch bunks, which she was REALLY not happy about, b/c now she isn't with her "corner friends". This weeks schedule went like this...
Monday (11th) PFA, PI, Weapons inspection
Tues. CMT and zone inspection
Wed. live fire (they can try and get a ribbon for that)
Thur. pictures and drill inspection
Fri. Test 2
Sat. bases and drill w/ their jr. div.. which is 928, they teach them how to do performance for PIR
So, at least we know what they are doing today, tomorrow and Sat.! :) They had their 2nd PFA on monday, I hope she passed. It is so hard to figure out what she's doing and when it happened b/c the letters are like a week behind.! :)
Well, that's it from here! Nice day in NY today!

Thats great!!! I guess you have to look at it like everyone has a different interpration on how htings are going!! What might not be a big deal to some is really exciting to others!! I hope my SR is one of her core 3 and not one of the ones not taking it too seriously!! My SR was really siked to leave for boot camp. Does she mentioned who her core 3 is? My mailman just came and I did get a letter from Marissa. But as usual not much in it. A list of things she wants me to bring with me to PIR that she will take to A school with her. She did mention that this week is hell week so she is not going to write much because its going to be very busy for them!! She said she will write after hell week was over and tell me all about it then and said she would make up for this lame letter!!!

Okay, so in my husband's letter he told me they got IT for misbehaving, and they got killed. He didn't give any details about IT, I hope he explains exactly what they put them through next time, I'm very curious. He said , "thank god for friends here, otherwise boot camp would suck" He told me he was thinking of backing out of perfoming b/c he's really nervous about it. I wrote to him today he better not back out b/c I want to see him perform. He said he can do 50 pushups now and he's really proud of himself, and he's hoping that he passes the next PFA. He said he needs to iron, shine, shave, and hygiene after letters so it doesn't leave much time for studying but his second test was coming up. He goes to church every sunday now (which I'm not too thrilled about b/c I'm so scared he's going to come back all religious) And he was very excited b/c it was sunday when he wrote and he said it was cheat day for his diet b/c they get to eat ice cream. Ice cream at boot camp! Who would have thought.

Ithink they had a good week, I mean other then getting into trouble. He didn't even mention marlinespike though! VERY strange....what a weird guy my husband is.
He did talk a lot about teasing me to his friends. He told his friends how I couldn't be in the navy b/c I don't follow orders. I got our son a blue navy outfit (even though he had told me to get him a white one). But I didn't want our son to be cold in the white.. However, I found a warm white outfit off of amazon, so I told my husband that he will in fact be in white, I returned the blue, and I DO follow orders. He also outlined specifics about opening a savings account and I told him I had already done that like 2 weeks ago. I said, "See, I'm SO good at following orders, that I do what you want before you even ask!!" hahahaha!!!!!
He told me he was worried about me having control of the money. PFFFT, the man who told me in his last letters to go buy all his family presents is worried about ME having the money!! Anyway, from the letters, it seems my husband is still my husband. Personality in tact! LOL
I love him to death and I miss him SO much! He said I should write him a novel next time, he LOVES getting my letters. He told me he looks forward to it every day at tattoo.

Wow now I really cant wait to hear from Marissa in her next letter. She said she would fill me in on "hell" week with next weeks letter. I hope I get one on Monday like I did last week!! I hope that all had a good week. It will beak my heart if I get a letter from her that has anything in discouraging for her!! I guess once a mom always a mom!! LOL. Thank you all for posting what your families have put in their letters it is actually comforting to me.

We have to keep in mind that the more IT they get, the better shape they are going to be in, the better they will do in battle stations.
